3 years ago Converting this script to Python3 is not that easy. It makes use of 'binary' strings, which are incompatible with Python3.
Strings From a developer’s point of view, the largest change in Python 3 is the handling of strings. In Python 2, the str type was used for two different kinds of values – text and bytes, whereas in Python 3, these are separate and incompatible types.
I have ported the script to Python3 and it needed lots of changes. In my point of view it makes no sense to make one script for both Python versions (and to be still a kind of readable).
Now my question to @rellit: Do you like resol-vbus to be Python3 compatible?
If yes, do you like to add a new script e.g. resol3.py or do you like to make a release of the current resol.py and switch to a single new Python3 resol.py and not maintaining the Python2 any more as Python2 is EOL since beginning of 2020 ...
I am willing to contribute my work.

I try to convert your code to python 3 like this:
Receive 1024 bytes from stream
def recv(): dat = sock.recv(1024).decode() return dat
Sends given bytes over the stram. Adds debug
def send(dat): sock.send(dat.encode())
and got the following error: File "resol.py", line 72, in recv dat = sock.recv(1024).decode() UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xaa in position 0: invalid start byte
Any help ?
